00:00:00.000
Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and I have two stories for you today that I think perfectly
00:00:06.100
demonstrate why you can never give the woke left an inch. They're inherently authoritarian
00:00:11.680
and their ideas are supremacist. Any institutions they can get their hands on, they will dominate
00:00:17.420
100% and their ideas must be reflected in every single thing the institution does. So I'm going
00:00:24.080
to start off with this first story that's actually very reflective of my most popular video ever
00:00:29.300
about the town of Westlok, Alberta, deciding that they're going to go back to neutral crosswalks
00:00:34.720
and neutral flagpoles. You know, crosswalks are just white line crosswalks, not rainbow crosswalks,
00:00:39.820
and their flagpoles are just going to have, you know, the flag of the town, the province,
00:00:43.880
and the country, and maybe the Union Jack, and that's it. Now there is another town in Alberta
00:00:48.980
that's done the same thing, and the reaction of the woke left is demonstrating that you can never
00:00:54.160
please these people. Unless you are doing every single thing that they want, well, see, you're
00:00:59.860
actually now not an ally. You actually must hate gay and trans people. Well, maybe you're actually
00:01:07.200
a bigot. Maybe you're a fascist because you're not letting us dominate your institutions. And I want
00:01:13.240
to tell this story through the perspective of the NDP MLA for Edmonton Highlands Norwood, Janice Irwin,
00:01:20.640
who is an absolute political supremacist. Here is what she said about the town of Barhead making
00:01:28.240
these neutrality changes to, again, go back to white line crosswalks and neutral flagpoles. Not
00:01:34.440
we're going to go to Christian flagpoles and have crosses everywhere, and we're going to have Christian
00:01:39.460
crosswalks. Just neutral. Neutrality. That's not good enough for Janice Irwin here. She says,
00:01:44.860
damn, my hometown of Barhead has just passed a so-called neutrality bylaw that will remove the
00:01:51.700
rainbow crosswalk and ban various flags. No, no, it bans all flags that are not the city's flags
00:01:58.520
on city flagpoles. That aren't the city, province, country, and the Union Jack on city flagpoles,
00:02:03.920
public flagpoles. That's actually neutral. Anyways, but she finishes off this first post in the thread
00:02:09.600
saying, to Barhead's 2SLGBTQ plus community and allies, I'm so sorry. Know that you're not alone.
00:02:17.300
You are seen and you are loved. It is her actual position here, that you are not seen and loved
00:02:22.400
and tolerated unless there is a pride crosswalk, unless there is a pride flag perpetually flying
00:02:29.620
at City Hall. That's obviously absurd. But the thing is that Janice Irwin is an identity politics
00:02:35.740
supremacist. Her, like, favored identity groups must always be reflected in everything all the time.
00:02:43.000
Maybe Janice Irwin thinks that a white line crosswalk is about white people. I wouldn't put
00:02:47.620
it past her for being that obtuse. But she legitimately sees neutrality and not having,
00:02:53.600
like, basically dominion over little small aspects of society as being, like, anti-gay. It's
00:03:01.980
absolutely ridiculous to think this. Plus, this is a small town. You could say, well, it's just a
00:03:08.360
crosswalk. Small towns don't have the budget to be wasting money on nonsense all the time. Small
00:03:14.240
towns need to be paying for the police, you know, water, power. They need to be making sure that public
00:03:20.660
services are provided, that public transportation is there. This is, this is a, like, an offense to
00:03:26.280
taxpayers who constantly be spending money on virtue signaling nonsense. And she's about to undermine
00:03:31.620
her case right here. Because it's not like this is a well-known town who is constantly doing things
00:03:37.460
that are against the, like, the gay community or whatever. They, they used to literally do it.
00:03:42.720
Nothing's changed. They just thought it was kind of getting a bit much. She says in her follow-up post,
00:03:47.880
the first time I joined my hometown to paint the crosswalk was truly magical. I'm heartbroken for all
00:03:53.680
those who organized and encouraged the community to choose love. How are you heartbroken? They literally
00:03:59.200
did it. See, on the 5th of June 2022, we see Janice Irwin here painting the crosswalk for the, with pride
00:04:07.680
colors. So obviously the town is not against this stuff. They got tired of it. And then she follows
00:04:14.600
up here and she said, and when I came back to Barhead this summer again to paint, the joy and love was
00:04:19.660
incredible. I won't forget. And they're even doing a pride progress flag with the indigenous symbol in it
00:04:25.500
as well. So obviously the town didn't care. And they're like, oh, and this person commenting over
00:04:31.280
here, oh, I'm sorry. This is terrible for the community. How is it terrible for the community?
00:04:35.640
It's a neutrality law. They are going to have white line crosswalks. I'm so sorry to break it to you,
00:04:42.280
but you're going to have to walk on a normal crosswalk. Most crosswalks are normal crosswalks.
00:04:48.040
Well, but it shows community might not care about this community. What do we always have to have
00:04:54.320
things, symbolic things around to make sure that you think that everyone around you is not going to
00:04:58.940
start like to jump up and start like beating on you. If you think that you're probably in the wrong
00:05:03.760
town and really you're not in the wrong town. You're wrong for the town. If you have such low opinions
00:05:08.960
of your neighbors that them not affirming you at all times is considered a form of bigotry.
00:05:14.680
If anything, that makes you a bully. The worst form of a bully, a cry bully. And so, and this is so
00:05:21.820
typical for Janice Warren. Janice Irwin is absolutely drenched in identity politics. So many NDP
00:05:28.180
politicians, both provincially in Alberta, like Janice Irwin, as well as federally are, and also
00:05:33.480
include the federal liberals. They care more about who did the thing, what they are, than whether or not
00:05:39.500
what they did was actually bad. So the town has not done anything bad. They have not made
00:05:44.660
an offense against anyone, but they have failed to provide Janice Irwin's favorite community with
00:05:50.600
something which is like oppression, even though other people didn't get that and they didn't claim
00:05:55.540
oppression either. In the Westlock story, again, like the thing I made my most popular video on,
00:06:02.040
the, what I would just call, I guess, like the alphabet lobby, then showed up with like rainbow lawn signs
00:06:09.240
to like strew them across private lawns who wanted them in the town to protest the fact that they
00:06:15.040
weren't having the crosswalks and flags on public flagpoles anymore. Guys, you realize this is why
00:06:21.440
people don't like your lobbying and your activism, because you're nasty people, because you can't
00:06:27.480
leave it alone and leave people alone. You must always be there present in people's faces at all times.
00:06:33.600
And this is a tactic and it's deliberate because they're Marxists and they want to bully people
00:06:38.180
into agreeing with them on other stuff. And this identity thing is what they've been using for so
00:06:43.960
long as an insertion point. Well, you, if you don't hate me, you'll put up that flag. You'll paint the
00:06:49.540
crosswalk that way. And also you should probably agree with me on everything else too. Now let's jump over
00:06:55.300
to another story. This one is somehow even wilder. I might get the town's name wrong here, but they have,
00:07:02.720
if I can find it. I think I have it up here. I know where I get the link. But there's the town of, I
00:07:09.540
believe, I think it's Emo. I know that's, it sounds like, you know, Emo's the group of people. But there's
00:07:16.740
this town of Emo in Ontario, Northern Ontario, that just decided that they're not going to, you know, do a
00:07:23.080
pride parade this year. They weren't going to do a pride parade in 2024. And so they've now been fined by the
00:07:30.460
Ontario government. Doug Ford's Progressive Conservative Party's government has fined both
00:07:36.280
the town of Emo, Ontario. It's near Thunder Bay. And they personally fined the mayor. That's how crazy
00:07:42.520
this is. Thanks to you to Joe Warmington from, for like writing this, the story and covering this.
00:07:48.660
So it says, a Northern Ontario mayor who was fined for voting against flying a pride flag at his town
00:07:54.340
hall says he will not be bullied into paying the $5,000 penalty. Nor will Mayor Harold McQuaker be
00:08:00.160
taking LGBTQ training as he has been ordered to by the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. So this is
00:08:06.860
why we need to dismantle these stupid human rights tribunals, every single province. It's just about
00:08:12.920
nonsensical complaints from activists to bully normal people. And this is used against absolutely
00:08:18.760
everyone. If there was a mayor who was gay saying, we're just not doing the pride parade this year,
00:08:23.220
costs a lot of money. It's inherently political. Obviously it's political. It's about saying that
00:08:28.700
this identity group is super special. That person would probably be referred to the Human Rights
00:08:33.800
Tribunal and get convicted and pay $5,000 and get labeled a bigot. Even if they're literally from
00:08:38.740
the community, that's how absurd all this stuff is. These are not only a waste of money, it's basically
00:08:44.480
just government struggle sessions, but in this bureaucratic way that makes it feel professional.
00:08:49.240
It's not. It's a bunch of Marxists with too much power. So he says,
00:08:55.060
and McQuaker insisted he won't cave to demands that he must host a drag time story hour in the
00:09:01.320
local library either. Imagine that. There is forces coming from above that are trying to say that he
00:09:07.140
must host a drag time story hour in a local library. This is the mayor. This isn't like the librarian who
00:09:15.040
technically doesn't have power to decide everything the library does. And so they're refusing a direct
00:09:20.860
order. This is somebody who is the person who's supposed to be giving the orders, who a tribunal
00:09:25.700
saying, no, you must do it to prove your tolerance. So we are literally showing that woke politics,
00:09:31.760
this is what I meant from the start. These are supremacist politics. You must always celebrate all
00:09:36.740
of the time and also agree with all the other socialist stuff that the person wants to insert
00:09:41.860
as well into these conversations using their identity as the insertion point that you must do
00:09:46.720
it all or you will basically be like attacked and trying to be torn down. This is nuts. He's the mayor.
00:09:54.700
This town didn't want the stuff, but because a woke scold can file a complaint, that means that you are
00:10:00.440
now in trouble and you will be railroaded. This is sick. This is really twisted stuff. Never give
00:10:08.420
these people a single inch. And I am happy that that mayor is not. And I'm happy that the town of
00:10:13.780
Barhead has gotten rid of all the nonsense and just gone back to neutral crosswalks and flagpoles,
00:10:19.780
as well as the town of Westlock went back to neutral flags and crosswalks. Perfect. Good. Guess what?
00:10:26.700
A town is supposed to just function for its taxpayers, not function for specific taxpayers a
00:10:32.740
little bit more than everybody else. And that is what the virtue signaling, that is what the pride,
00:10:37.360
like the pride parades have become about proving that some people are a little more special than
00:10:41.680
everybody else. You can have a parade. You got to fund it yourself. This has to stop being a taxpayer
00:10:47.880
involved thing to constantly ballyhoo identity. And this is on everything. I don't want a Christian
00:10:54.180
parade. I don't want a like British national history parade. I just want whoever privately can
00:11:01.200
fund a parade can have one. A Canada Day parade is fine with me. Maybe a Christmas parade. Even that,
00:11:06.440
I don't exactly need it. Let's stop with constantly needing certain people's politics raised above
00:11:12.700
everyone else's. And if you don't like it, that's bigotry. Again, Janice Irwin, going back to her
00:11:18.780
thread, she's not saying that, well, they're not putting up bigoted flags. They're putting up
00:11:23.160
Nazi flags in the town. No, it's just the Canadian flag. There's just not a pride flag next to it now.
00:11:29.880
Well, that's pretty big. How is it? How is it bigoted at all? It is literally neutrality. It is pure
00:11:35.060
neutrality. That's what I commented back to her. It is literally a neutrality law. And she puts it in
00:11:40.140
quotes like it's a so-called neutrality law. What is her definition of neutrality if this is not
00:11:46.780
neutral? Again, it's the whole stupid animal farm bit about, you know, we're all, you know,
00:11:54.380
we're all equal, but some of us are a little bit more equal than others.
00:11:58.480
Anyways, that's it for me today, guys. That was insane stories. I hope that the mayor of Emo Ontario
00:12:05.220
is able to get through this because this is an absolute woke struggle session attack. And the only
00:12:10.900
way you lose is by giving in. I think if he fights this in court, he'll probably get the fines
00:12:16.680
overturned. And if he doesn't, then he should keep fighting it in higher and higher courts.
00:12:21.540
That's nuts. Anyways, if you guys want to support the show, you can always donate to the Give,

00:12:36.000
I don't even know ever how to end these videos. I just kind of scuff it at the end every time.
00:12:39.780
I just kind of blurt out a bunch of words, plug a few things, and then eventually I hit the end
00:12:44.180
recording button, like I'm about to do. See you guys later.
